SANTA CLARA -- L is for losers, as the kids might say on an NFL playground.

Instead of sticking with its Roman numeral theme, the NFL unveiled logos Wednesday for "Super Bowl 50," to be held at Levi's Stadium on Feb. 7, 2016.

The numerical reprieve has been granted solely for that year's title tilt, which would otherwise be known as Super Bowl L to NFL purists.

Roman numerals will return from its year hiatus for Super Bowl LI in 2017 at Houston's Reliant Stadium. The league officially began using Roman numerals in 1971 for Super Bowl V, a Baltimore Colts' victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Lamar Hunt, the late Kansas City Chiefs owner, is credited with introducing Roman numerals as well as the Super Bowl's name.

Two logos for Super Bowl 50 were unveiled by the league, with the national logo simply featuring an oversized Lombardi Trophy placed between the gold-colored numerals "5" and "0". In the regional edition, the trophy rises out of Levi's Stadium's northwest corner while San Francisco landmarks are reflected in the "50" background. The landmarks: Transamerica Pyramid, Golden Gate Bridge, Ferry Building, Coit Tower, Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Muir Woods redwood trees.

This season's championship game, Super Bowl XLIX, will be held Feb. 1, 2015 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.
